Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the ***ATTACHED*** status report requirements (do ***not*** use templates from other cases) by 03/18/2025. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendants have not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.

21 2025-03-18 STATUS Report by Triumph International, LLC
22 2025-03-27 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion [15] for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendant may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendant, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The request for electronic service of process [19] is granted for good cause. The tracking status hearing of 03/28/2025 is reset to 04/11/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Plaintiff shall file, if appropriate, the TRO extension or preliminary injunction motion by 04/04/2025. The Plaintiff shall file a status report on 04/04/2025 as well. Emailed notice

31 2025-04-09 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Given the applicability of the same circumstances that justified entry of the initial TRO, the motion for preliminary injunction [27] is granted. In light of the answer deadline of 04/25/2025, R. 26, and to track the case only, the tracking status hearing set for 04/11/2025 is reset to 05/09/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the parties shall file a joint status report by 05/02/2025. If the Defendant has not answered on time, then the Defendant is deemed to be in default, and the Plaintiff shall file a motion for default judgment by 05/02/2025. Emailed notice
